Wolfram Computation Meets Knowledge

Wolfram Notebook Licensing

For Deployment in the Free Wolfram Player

Personal use

Wolfram Notebooks are viewable for personal use with Wolfram Player and on the web through the Wolfram Cloud as read-only documents with basic controller-driven interactivity.

User-shared and freely distributed content and applications can be deployed without restriction, alongside thousands of examples of engaging, interactive and openly accessible content found on sites like the Wolfram Demonstrations Project and the Notebook Archive.

Enterprise level

For commercial retail products or enterprise-wide applications, enterprise-level CDF notebooks run as full-fledged Wolfram Language–based applications on Wolfram Player, with support for product white labeling, source-code encryption, data import/export, file creation and management, saving interface state and connectivity to databases and other programs.

Contact us about Mathematica Enterprise Edition for deploying internal production-level applications within your organization, commercial publications to a broad audience or any Wolfram Language–based computable document products sold directly to your end users.
